Be it known that I, BENNETT G. SILVER, a

citizen of theU-n -ited States cit-America, re-. siding at Chicago, inthe county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Childrens Swing-Seats, of which the following isa specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in a childs swing-seat, and theobjects of my invention are, first, to provide a construction of theclass which will readily permit placing the child in and taking it fromthe seat and prevents the childs fall or escape in the absence of anattendant; second, to afford a seat which may quickly be removed fromthe frame giving it shape to be laundried; and, third, the provision ofmeans having one free end and suitable to be attached to and detachedfrom the body of the seat to restrain the childs body from slipping outof the seat. 1

With the foregoing and other objects in view, my invention consists inthe novel features and in the novel combination and arrangement of partshereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawingsforming a part of this specification, and particularly pointed out inthe claims hereunto appended.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective of the invention with therestraining flap unhooked,

Fig. 2 is a similar view with flap hooked,

Fig. 3 is a section on line 3 3 on Fig. 2,

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a modified form in the construction ofthe seat.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts 9 throughout the several views.

The seat or basket A is made up preferably of a suitable textile fabriccomposed of] and carries hooks 13 at one end for engagement with eyes 14On the strip 7 Straps 15 of any desired length afford suitable meanswhereby to hang the seat sufliciently above the floor or the ground ISpecification of Letters Patent. implication filed January 23 19117..No. 143,890. i

from-the ceiling'or'from a tree in a Well known manner. y

The relatively narrow flap ll securui at the'aopened end of the seatleaves a comparatively large opening 16 to facilitate seating in andremoving the child from the basketlike seat A.

The strip 7 is sewed or otherwise secured at its ends to the sideportions 5.

In Fig. 4 is disclosed a. slightly modified form having parallel rows ofholes with eye-lets 17, 18, therein and when the upper edges of thefabric seat are folded over the rigid frame 9, the rows of eye-letsregister to enable the threading of atape 19 therethrough and tying thesame as at 20 to provide, simple means for detaching the seat from itsrigid frame when the seat is to be laundried.

The flap 11 when fastened at its free end to the basket spans theopening 16 in the Owing to the simple character of the invention, onreference to the drawings taken together with the above description, theconstruction and its mode of Operation, it is thought will be readilyunderstood.

It will be understood that changes, variations, and modifications in thedetails of the invention within the scope of the claims may be resortedto without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of theadvantages thereof, hence I do not limit my invention to the exactconstruction and arrangement of parts shown and described.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters-Patent, is: p

1. In a childs swing-seat, the combination with a rigid frame andsuspending means therefor, of a textile seat the upper edges of whichare provided with parallel rows of eyelets and folded over the rigidframe and means threaded through the eyelets for attaching and detachingthe seat from the rigid frame.

2.

' 3. In a childs swing-seat, the combination With a rigid frame andsuspending means therefor, of a textile seat the upper edges of Whichare provided With parallel Copies of this patent may be obtained forrows of eyelets and folded over the rigid frame and having an open endwith a restraining flap secured to the said seat at one end and'mea'nsfor fastening the free 15 end of the flap to the body of the textileseat.
